Congrats! Your website is officially live, and it’s looking fantastic. But just because it’s out there doesn’t mean people can find it. Launching a website is like opening a beautiful store in the middle of nowhere. Without proper signposts and visibility, no one knows it’s there.
That’s where Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and a Google My Business page come in. These tools ensure your website gets noticed, indexed, and seen by the right people.
But suppose you want to go further and really stand out online. In that case, our SEO services and digital marketing strategies — including social media management, Google Ads, and PPC advertising — are designed to get you noticed.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry. Here’s how to get things rolling.
1. Get Noticed with Google Search Console
Think of Google Search Console (GSC) as your website’s direct hotline to Google. It helps Google find, understand, and rank your website. Without it, search engines may not even realize your site exists.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Head to Google Search Console and sign in with your Google account.
- Select “Add Property” and enter your website URL.
- Follow the verification steps — this usually involves adding a small code to your website.
- Submit your sitemap to help Google navigate your site and index your pages.
Once you’re set up, GSC will update you on your site’s performance and flag any issues that need attention.
2. Track What Matters with Google Analytics
Want to know how people find your site and what they do once they get there? Google Analytics gives you all the insights you need to make informed decisions.
Here’s how to get started:
- Visit Google Analytics and sign in.
- Create an account and add your website.
- Follow the prompts to generate a tracking ID.
- Add this tracking code to your site (most platforms make this pretty simple).
- Check-in to see real-time data and learn how visitors interact with your site.
With Google Analytics, you’ll get the full picture — what’s working, what’s not, and where there’s room to grow.
3. Own Your Spot with Google My Business
If you have a physical location or serve a local market, a Google My Business (GMB) profile is non-negotiable. It makes sure your business shows up on Google Maps and local search results. Plus, it gives you a place to showcase your photos, hours, and customer reviews.
Setting it up is easy:
- Go to Google My Business and click “Manage Now.”
- Enter your business details, like your name, location, and contact info.
- Choose the category that best fits your business.
- Verify your business — Google might send you a postcard with a verification code.
- Once verified, add photos, your hours of operation, and a solid business description.
Your GMB profile is often the first impression potential customers will have — make it count.
